Hey everyone. Just wanted to do a quick intro and hello. This week is a great week for me. I have wanted a 240 for 10 years ever since I could drive and now that I have a real job and the finances to do it, I am about to start my dream project car. This week I go to pickup my 96 s14. Cant wait to get started.

Hey so could you help me out and tell me the quick and easy way to chain the timing chain

[Ls1pwr]

: those side skirts and your rear bumper are FUGLY and so ricey...

[Conquerer]

Hey I'm a noob and I'm interested in buying an s14. So I was looking at them on the internet and I came across something that I don't understand.In this thread it is stated that the LE(that's the ONLY edition with leather right?) was only an option for the 97-98's. Well I saw an s14 on the internet that they say is a 96. But it has leather. So I thought, well maybe it's a typo and it's really a 97. But that can't be because it has the Zenki front and rear of the 96's.



Can someone explain?

This thread makes the mistake of not mentioning the LE model of the Zenki. I have a 1995 LE with a leather interior and everything mentioned under the LE model for the Kouki (with the exception of the foglights; I'm not sure if my bumper was replaced anyway).

When I got my 240 I was also looking at another one very similar and it was an LE (1995 too). Said "LE" on the back and had the leather interior and everything. Then I saw the car that I'd eventually get and was led to believe it was a base 240SX until I checked up this thread (which is somewhat ironic cause this thread is inaccurate). It had all its emblems missing and I had to purchase them myself so I didn't realize until somewhat recently that it was an LE.

But the point is, an LE model does in fact exist for the Zenki. This thread completely ignores it. I've been meaning to mention this for some time but never got down to it.

I realize your post is from a year ago and also that your pictures do not work, but I can tell you that the car you were looking at was a 1996 240SX LE.

[JulianMG]

What about interior pictures? Would be very helpful in decision making process.thanks

[Templar93240sx]

Hey, i Just got a 93 240sx se pretty much free, being the guy needed to get it out of his yard. I have been looking for one for a year or so but could never find one, so i kinda jumped on it. It runs and needs a new transmission and clutch, which he included. i was just wondering where a good place to start on working on it. like if you had no idea what has been previously done to it. Besides the transmission. Ive heard good things about this site, so Im hoping and open for suggestions.

Yeah.... So I'm going to have to say that these numbers are off by a significant amount. Not completely done running all the VINs through the software, but I can post 2792 verifiable US S14 VINs to tell you this 2178 number is off.

All will be ready with a GOOD 240SX convertible registry soon.

Great link. Just joined the forum today, read that whole post. It was a great refresher since I haven't looked at anything about 240's for over 3 years up until I had the opportunity to get one and will hopefully be the owner of my first 240 by this coming weekend. Good info once again thanks for posting...

Antenna looks to be jammed up.
Body kit is ricey even while being small
steering wheel is fugly and won't spin through your hand nicely
dash is cracked, car was probably not garaged much or ever, other plastic is all about to give way
no sterio-make sure the harness isn't cut (like my pos)
no f*** wheels, riding on 40mph crap that will blow up if you drive much on em, that will cost you a buttload from the start
seller seems to think it's a gas saver, apparently knows nothing-you don't know that there was ever any rebuild of anything.
"bucket seats" make those torn stock ones sound aftermarket-and I expect it has harnesses because the electric belts broke. Interior is more like 5/10, imo.

I'd tell him if you test compression and it's good, 1500. Then again, I also know he wouldn't sell it to me. He can stfu about shells, an uncracked dash is worth near as much as his "gas saver".

But what do I know.... My name is quite literal. Maybe you should buy it to save from it's current owner.

KA24E.

Looks a lot cleaner and less douchey, to me anyway. Of course everyone wants to keep their rims..... but 4 spares is just classless.....

You might also be able to use tho non-matching fender as a barganing point, throws off an otherwise clean paint job. And the paint's new enough that with some work, you MIGHT be able to get the fender to match it pretty well.

[napR6]

much appreciated.
im just gonna keep my butt still til i see something i really want.
would much rather a coupe.

Moar hatches for me.

I think they're amazingly sexy. To me the coupe tends to just look funny.... unless you want a silvia front end...
